سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ مُدَبَّرٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا خَطَأً قَالَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ رُوِّيتُمْ فِي هَذَا قَالَ قُلْتُ رُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ يُتَلُّ بِرُمَّتِهِ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ فَإِذَا مَاتَ الَّذِي دَبَّرَهُ أُعْتِقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَيَبْطُلُ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَكَذَا رُوِّينَا قَالَ قَدْ غَلِطْتُمْ عَلَى أَبِي يُتَلُّ بِرُمَّتِهِ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ فَإِذَا مَاتَ الَّذِي دَبَّرَهُ اسْتُسْعِيَ فِي قِيمَتِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus, from Al Khattab Bin Salama, from Hisham Bin Ahmad who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about a <span class="iTxt">Mudabbir</span> (slave promised freedom upon the death of his master), who killed a man in error. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Which thing are you all reporting with regards to this?’ I said, ‘We are reporting from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘He would be completely handed over to the guardians of the killed one. So when the one who promised his freedom upon his own death were to die, he is free’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Glory be to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! So the blood of a Muslim person has been invalidated?’ I said, ‘This is how we are reporting it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You are mistaken upon my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>. He would be completely handed over to the guardians of the killed one. So when the one who promised him freedom upon his own death were to die, he has to work with regards to his value’.
